 I ran MBSE on a Raspberry for some time. When I found out that UTF8 was
 supported, I did a minor trial. My impression was that Michiel Broek did
 a good job, but lacking users/testers still had some debugging to do.

 I do not know when he implemented utf8 and ipv6, but to me they were like
 easter eggs. When I enabled ipv6 on system , only expecting ipv6 connections
 with Wilfred, I noticed that I connection to Michiel Broek were also made
 using Ipv6. Later, long after Michie had left Fidonet, I found that there
 was also support for Utf8. Due to his knowledge from day job, he was far
 ahead of all of us.
